A method of arranging an overhead sectional door (SD) in a doorframe (10; 20) that defines a door opening, the overhead sectional door (SD) comprising a plurality of door panel sections (100; 200; 300; 400; 500). The method disclosed herein involves: a) fitting a first door panel section (100) in the doorframe (10; 20), b) fitting a second door panel section (200) in the doorframe (10; 20), and c) actuating an electric motor (M) to cause the first door panel section (100) to push the section door panel section (200) a distance in an upward direction. The method further involves: d) securing the second door panel section (200) with respect to the doorframe (10; 20), e) causing said at least one electric motor (M) to move the first door panel section (100) a distance in a downward direction, thereby leaving a space (60) between the secured door panel section and the first door panel section (100), f) fitting a next door panel section (300; 400; 500) in the space (60), and g) causing said at least one electric motor (M) to move the first door panel section (100) a distance in an upward direction. Further, the method involves: h) unsecuring the secured door panel section (200; 300; 400; 500) with respect to the doorframe (10; 20), causing said at least one electric motor (M) to move the first door panel section (100) a further distance in an upward direction, engaging the top edge of the next door panel section (300; 400; 500) with the bottom edge of the previously secured door panel section (200; 300; 400; 500), and securing the next door panel section (300; 400; 500) with respect to the doorframe (10; 20). The method also involves repeating steps e) to h) for each next door panel section (300; 400; 500) until at least all but a last door panel section of the overhead sectional door (SD) have been arranged.

A method for mounting a door drive including a door actuator with a mounting section for the attachment to a counter-mounting section of a door, an attachment device for the attachment to a counter-attachment section of the door and a lever mechanism with a first end and with a second end, for the mobile support of the door actuator at the attachment device between a closing position and an opening position, where the attachment device is disposed at the first end of the lever mechanism and an axle assembly of the door actuator at a second end of the lever mechanism, and with an actuating unit of the door actuator for moving the axle assembly of the door actuator.

A guide assembly includes a guide configured to be arranged on a stationary furniture part, a guide device configured to be connected to the movable furniture part, the guide device being displaceable relative to the guide, and an adjustment device for adjusting the guide relative to the stationary furniture part. The adjustment device includes a mounting device configured to be fixed to the stationary furniture part and a coupling device configured to be coupled to the guide. The preferably pivotally supported actuating element is for adjusting the coupling device relative to the mounting device. A securing device is provided for fixing the guide device relative to the guide in a securing position, and the securing device includes a securing body integrated into the adjustment device.

An arrangement for guiding a door on a furniture wall, includes a guide to be secured on the furniture wall, a carrier on which the door is to be secured, and a guide body. The carrier is/can be connected to the guide body such that they are coupled for movement, and via which the carrier is/can be moveably mounted on the guide. A securing device is provided comprising a mounting body that is/can be connected to the carrier and/or to the guide body, a second mounting body that is/can be connected to the guide and/or to the furniture wall, and a securing element. The securing element fixes the two mounting bodies in a secure position relative to one another and releases the same in a release position, such that the two mounting bodies can be moved relative to one another.

Systems, methods, and apparatus for detecting movable barrier disengagement are provided. A movable barrier operator system includes a motor configured to be coupled to a movable barrier and move the movable barrier, a motor sensor configured to measure a load value of the motor, communication circuitry configured to receive, from a remote control, a state change request to cause movement of the movable barrier, and a processor circuit. The processor circuit is configured to cause actuation of the motor in response to receipt of the state change request, detect, based on the load value, a disengagement between the motor and the movable barrier, and cause a communication to be sent, in response to detecting the disengagement, to a remote server, the communication indicative of motor disengagement.

The method includes a step of fixing the other end of the drive wire to the drive drum; a step of temporarily placing one end of the drive wire in a temporary placement portion provided on the drum housing; and a step of applying tension to the drive wire by moving the one end of the drive wire to an engaging portion provided on the drive drum after canceling the placed state of the one end of the drive wire in the temporary placement portion by pulling a portion of the drive wire on the one end side thereof by winding a portion of the drive wire on the other end side thereof by the drive drum with the one end of the drive wire placed in the temporary placement portion.

A cable-operated drive mechanism for a vehicle sliding closure panel includes a housing and a motor configured to selectively rotate an output shaft. A cable drum is supported in the housing for rotation in response to rotation of the output shaft. A first cable coupled to the cable drum extends through a first cable port for operable attachment to the vehicle sliding closure panel. An adjuster pulley in the housing is moveable between assembly and installed positions. A second cable coupled to the cable drum engages the adjuster pulley and extends, in non-reversed bending fashion, through a second cable port for operable attachment to the vehicle sliding closure panel. The second cable has an assembly free-length when the adjuster pulley is in the assembly position and an installed free-length when the adjuster pulley is in the installed position, with the installed free-length being less than the assembly free-length.
